Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal

The "Gourmand Honey Bomb." Scandal is a Chypre Floral Gourmand that is famous for its hyper-sweet, provocative, and completely unapologetic composition. It opens with a bright, mouthwatering slap of Blood Orange and Mandarin Orange, giving it a juicy, citrus entry. The heart features a heavy, intoxicating core of Honey, Gardenia, Peach, and Jasmine, creating a thick, edible floral quality. The dry down drops into a deep, sensual, and earthy base of Beeswax, Caramel, Patchouli, and Licorice. It smells like fresh flower petals dipped slowly into warm, melted caramel and gooey honey ultra-sweet, loud, and incredibly addictive.

Fragrance Notes :

• Top : Blood Orange, Mandarin Orange (The bright, juicy, and zesty opening).
• Heart : Honey, Gardenia, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Peach (The thick, sweet, and sticky floral core).
• Base : Beeswax, Caramel, Patchouli, Licorice (The deep, rich, and earthy gourmand foundation).

Care and Use :

• Apply : 2–3 sprays maximum. Scandal is notoriously nuclear. The patchouli and beeswax base act as intense fixatives, giving it a massive, room-filling scent trail (sillage). On skin, it easily lasts 10 to 12+ hours, and it will permanently lock onto winter coats and sweaters until they are washed.
• Occasion : The ultimate Winter, Fall, and Late Night Clubbing staple. The heavy, warm honey notes act like a cozy shield in freezing air. It is perfect for date nights, parties, or when you want to stand out completely. Avoid wearing this in tight office spaces or peak summer heat, where the thick sweetness can become overly suffocating.
• Store : Because honey, caramel, and beeswax accords contain dense natural resins that are highly sensitive to UV light, store this bottle inside its packaging to prevent the juice from discoloring or losing its sparkling orange top notes.
